An internet troll is a person who uses anonymity to cause frustration, anger, impatience or to generally be disruptive for no seemingly good reason EXCEPT to be that nuisance.
Most are souless bastards, touched by daddy/priest, and in the stead of coping with that trauma in a healthy way, take out their aggression, anger,
impotence, frustration on others.
-have problems forming real-life
relationships; have a hard time attracting members of the opposite/same sex,generally introverts. Though some are 'trolls-in-hiding', most are skill-less loners.
General troll behavior:disruptive forum posts; the posts are generally off-topic, or unnecessarily combative. Each
contemporary popular website has its own sub-genre of troll
-can be male or female, mostly males, including the popular 'gender bender'44 yo man that acts like 14 yo girl
Female
internet trolls, are far more scary then their male counterparts. Female trolls seem to better able to delude themselves into believing that their behavior is not only accepted online but that the traits that they find so well received (they are not) will transfer well to real life. usually ends badly.
EX_1...on a thread with 50 people reading/posting, the troll tries to be the first to make a comment about the picture attached; one or two people point out his/her foolishness and instead of saying he understands, is sorry, or just shutting up, the troll then proceeds to exacerbates the situation by further feigning ignorance, enraging those who do not see through the behavior. Later, when several people directly attack said troll, he responds by praising their comments, or by hitting the 'like/thumbs up' button.
EX_2:underneath an article about the impact of
corporate greed in third world countries, say india, two people are having a back and forth about the article...an attention-seeking troll would pop in with something like "so how many niggers are there in india?" in an obvious attempt to illicit an emotional response; or if the article was accompanied by a family pic of a father/mother/son/daughter, a comment suck as "so how often do you think hes fucked that
little girl/boy? boy he/she just LOOKS butthurt from all that fucking!", again in an obvious attempt to divert
intellectual discourse, or to just project feelings of their own sex abuse, or desire to be the abuser. Just try to ignore the
internet trolls.
